If you your commercial business is in need of pipe repair, then it’s time you considered the trenchless pipelining method of CIPP. Even though the CIPP repair has been around for more than a decade, it is still considered fairly new technology. Not only does this trenchless pipelining method save you time and money, but it also improves the proficiency of your pipes. Let’s take a closer look at how.
CIPP is a Type of Trenchless Pipelining That Works Great
CIPP stands for “Cured In Place Pipe”. It is a type of trenchless pipelining that involves the process of curing a pipe in place in order to repair a damaged pipe. First, it includes the use of advanced video technology to pinpoint the area that needs repair. Then an epoxy pipe coating is applied to the inside of the broken pipe that solidifies, creating a seal in its place. This method is non-invasive and effective.
Why You Should Choose the CIPP Method
This method provides pipe restoration without digging into the existing pipeline. Instead, technicians use nearby existing manholes in order to accomplish the repairs. Not only is trenchless pipeline repair less destructive, it also has great longevity. You don’t want to end up needing repairs again a couple years later. Surprisingly, many of these CIPP repairs last as long as 50 years.
Another reason to choose CIPP repair is the cost involved. Compared to other traditional methods, it is very affordable. Moreover, you also face fewer unknowns and it takes less time to complete than other approaches. No one likes the inconvenience of noisy construction or the air pollution created by certain pipe repair methods. You don’t have to worry about much of that with CIPP. You also will not need to waste your time getting a survey of the land, because this method doesn’t require that. Why would you choose any another way?
The Best Pipes for the CIPP Method
Primarily, you can use the CIPP method for metal pipes, PVC, concrete, and clay pipes. It is used for standard pipelining, fire suppression pipelining, water main pipe lining, storm drainpipe lining, and vertical drains. In addition to this, some have even used CIPP repair on AC cooling tower and chiller pipelining. Furthermore, you can also apply this method to non-circular pipes, pipes with many curvatures, pipes with offsets and pipes with joints that are misaligned. It really is the perfect solution for a variety of pipes.
Benefits of Using an Epoxy Coating
The CIPP method uses an epoxy coating. This has many benefits including it improves the quality of the water running through the pipes. It also protects the pipes from erosion, corrosion, leaks, and mold growth. Furthermore, it helps metal pipes last longer. On top of that, experts use this method on about half of the sewer lines today. Therefore, it has become a very popular and successful method to use on broken pipes.
